Roger, I'm not sure what you mean by that:
5948 data _null_ ;
5949 call symput('one', 'this is one') ;
5950 x = symget('one') ;
5951 put x= ;
5952 call symput('one', 'this is two') ;
5953 x = symget ('one') ;
5954 put x= ;
5955 call symput('one', 'this is three') ;
5956 x = symget('one') ;
5957 put x= ;
5958 run ;
x=this is one
x=this is two
x=this is three
Kind Regards,
John
